Minify code wich contain backtick (`) as delimiter issue #892
Description
Hi.
Some trouble trying to minify html code with some js code inside which use backtick ( ` ) as delimiter.
Like in example below:
<html>
....
<body>
....
<script>
....
this.container.innerHTML = `
<div class="player-wrapper">
<div class="player-controls hidden">
<select class="stream-selector">
<option value="">Please select a stream!</option>
</select>
<button class="load-stop-btn">Play</button>
</div>
<div class="status-overlay"></div>
<video class="player-video" autoplay controls></video>
<div class="peak-meter-container">
<div class="meters-wrapper"></div>
<div class="db-scale"></div>
</div>
</div>
`;
....
</script>
....
</body>
</html>
After minify the code block between backtick (`) delimiters remain completely untouched.
What can be done?
Use CLI binnaries for Windows.
regards,
Laur

There is no minification of HTML parts within JS since this is not a straightforward task. Your example is quite a clear case we could support, but what if we assign to
innerHTMLvarious concatenations of strings and variables? The general case is not feasible. I will keep the issue open as a non-urgent feature request, thanks for posting!
